With the development of dermal fillers like Juvederm™ came wonderful new options for the rejuvenation of the skin on the face and hands. With the precise application of the most suitable filler solution, it is possible to reduce lines and creases around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Fillers also enable a skilled practitioner to achieve a beautiful lift of facial features by plumping areas in which tissue and fluid have diminished.

In many situations, dermal fillers provide a great alternative to invasive face and brow lift procedures. Administered by an experienced clinician, these biocompatible substances can even be used to reshape the nose or disguise under eye bags with beautifully natural results. If you have concerns about the way age and stress are affecting your facial appearance, there is immense value in scheduling a consultation for anti-aging treatment in the Manhattan office of Board Certified physician Ron Shelton. In our office, your skin concerns are taken seriously and treatment is designed around your needs and expectations.

Juvederm™ is an FDA-approved filler solution based on hyaluronic acid, a derivative of sugar. This solution is formulated with the consistency that fills lines and rehydrates the skin around the eyes, the mouth, and the lips. It can plump the cheeks and add definition to the jawline through the lift that results from increased volume in the mid-face area.

Treating lines and wrinkles with Juvederm™ is simple and provides an immediate boost to your level of satisfaction in your appearance. In about thirty minutes, this filler is strategically placed through tiny injections just beneath the skin. To ensure a comfortable, pleasant experience, we can apply topical numbing cream to the skin before we begin treatment.

As we age, we lose as much as a teaspoon of volume from the face every year. One teaspoon does not sound like much, but it adds up to significant deflation and sagging over time. By using dermal fillers alone or in conjunction with other treatments, Dr. Shelton facilitates a return to a more youthful you. The immediately noticeable improvement in facial contours can last several months, with results varied based on the way in which each person's body metabolizes the filler solution.
